Kisah dan tradisi
Regolo adalah hewan ajaib dalam tradisi Toskana, Umbria, Abruzzo, Lazio, dan Marche: ular besar berkepala sebesar kepala anak kecil yang hidup di semak, ladang, dan jurang pegunungan. Namanya berarti "raja kecil" karena termasuk tradisi basilisk di Mediterania. Kesaksian tentang dewa bernama Serpente Regolo konon berasal dari zaman Romawi, dan Dio Cassius serta Plinius Tua menceritakan pertemuan pasukan Atilius Regulus dengan reptil raksasa di Afrika pada Perang Punik Pertama. Di Toscana regolo dibayangkan sebagai reptil besar bersisik berkilau seperti logam dengan dua sayap kecil, dan menurut tradisi daerah ia lahir dari telur ayam jantan tua yang dierami katak, kodok, atau ular di atas tumpukan pupuk. Salah satu dari sedikit penggambarannya yang asli terdapat di Pieve di Corsignano dekat Pienza.
The regolo is a fantastic animal of Tuscan, Umbrian, Abruzzese, Lazian and Marchigian tradition: a big serpent with a head as large as a child's, living in thickets, fields and mountain gorges. Its name means "little king", as it belongs to the Mediterranean basilisk tradition. Testimonies of a deity called Serpente Regolo supposedly go back to Roman times, and Cassius Dio and Pliny the Elder told of Atilius Regulus's army meeting a huge reptile in Africa during the First Punic War. In Toscana the regolo is pictured as a large reptile with metallic shining scales and two small wings, and regional traditions have it hatch from an old cockerel's egg brooded by a toad, frog or snake on a dung heap. One of its few original depictions is at the Pieve di Corsignano near Pienza.
